These may trick some into thinking they're vanilla-flavored, but your taste buds will discover a treat when they get a mouthful of the cookies-and-cream overload. Best part if you're making 'em? No baking required.

Whether you have kids coming over or a bunch of light-hearted friends, this take on a monster is less scary and more whimsical. And if it means you get some shredded coconut in your dessert, even better.

Everyone loves Nightmare Before Christmas (if you don't, well...). So channel that undying affection with these easy-to-make replicas of their favorite character. Bonus points if you have the film quietly playing in the background.

If the thought of whipping up a recipe is ~spookier~ to you than Halloween itself, then fear not! You can snag equally adorable cake pops from Williams Sonoma. (And no one is judging you if you put them on a platter and pretend you made them.) (Six for $32, williamssonoma.com)
